Every so often, you find yourself involved in a project of creativity where the finished project actually somewhat resembles the vision you had when you started. And you stand back, revel in the glory of what you’ve created and think, How in the WORLD did THAT happen?
This week is Meet the Teacher week for McKinney schools. As a den leader and Join Scouting Night coordinator for McGowen, I wanted to use this week to get the word out and do a little advance recruiting for our pack. After some discussion, we decided the best way to do this would be to create an awesome display table with a really cool signboard, some cookies, and handouts.  I’ve got the handouts already, so check that off the list. And the cookies will be made on Thursday so they are nice and fresh (and yes, despite my dietary restrictions I DO plan to have them dripping with all the ooey, gooey, chocolatey goodness that has become my culinary signature). So that leaves the really cool signboard, which my wonderful assistant den leader and I made today.
May I just say, for the record, that we totally ROCKED it?
I put my Cricut to good use. We both pulled from our stash of Cub Scout photos. And the result is a busy, yet fun look at what Cub Scouts is all about. Never mind that 90% of the pictures are of our two sons. Geez, at least they’re good looking. And photogenic. I have a few finishing touches to apply tomorrow, but rest assured pictures are forthcoming. And when we put that signboard on our table with the bright yellow tablecloth, the awesome handouts, the yummy cookies, and the well-organized sign-up sheet….well, we might just become instant legends.
Because, after all, we rock. Totally.
You are very creative and I bet it’ll be a great display. Hope you get lots of sign-ups. And the cookies …m-m-m. How can those parents and would-be cub scouts resist?
